Just saying

This is completely true, but I'm gonna place bets on how many people deny it anyways. I'm betting 20$

I think the point perhaps is that they aren't the only thing that matters.

As much as you say, "I'm only interested in personality" you wouldn't date a five hundred pound land slug unless you also found that appealing.

Looks do matter, yes that's true, but I definitely don't think it should be the main priority. I say that probably because I'm uggo.

They just have to be attractive to you. I mean, you're going to have to put up with how they look, but as long as it's attractive to you, then fine.

That initial sexual attraction is important but is it as important as being a good person anyway.

I think the point here is that you need to be physically attracted to the person in order for a relationship to be successful. Everyone's version of "looks" is a little different, and some people place more value on them than others. But if your most basic instincts (fuck to reproduce) are saying no, it's probably not going to last. The phrase is "love at first sight" but I think it's really lust at first sight.

Also, I really appreciate the picture that is this post.

Thank you! I try to explain this to people all the time. You need to be attracted to someone in order to have any sort of long lasting successful relationship. However, their personality matters just as much.

I guess blind people don't have relationships..

Well, if they don't even try to look good then yes it matters, but if they put forth effort to impress you then you should love them anyways :) It's nice to have somebody try to impress you.

my friends are all like "really?" when I say I think looks are important. It's looks that will draw somebody's attention a lot of the time, like the first gate- then if they're a dick/bitch, you turn around and walk straight back out. If they're a compatible person- you open the second gate.

There was this boy at my school when I was a freshman and I thought he was one of the ugliest boys I'd ever seen. Well we got to know each other then one day he asked me to be his girlfriend and I agreed and now he's the best looking man I've ever seen and he hasn't changed a bit
